PROPHECY March 2, 1940, I stole a crystal ball from a fortune teller and since I wasn't caught until March 5, 1940, I had plenty of time to find out the futures of the members of the class of nineteen hundred forty. I gazed into the ball for a long time and finally there appeared a vision of a couple of tap dancers. On closer observation they turned out to be Ioan and Clara Montagner going through routine in front of their director, Davie Ashbrook. These vanished and the ball revealed to me the fact that Stanley Rouse and Clorine Hennessee were joint proprietors of the Anderson City Play-house where the show then playing was Uncle Tom's Cabin. Betty Bartley was Eliza and the villian, Simon Legree was A1 Huffman - what a villianl The next vision I saw was a scene of a Circus. Tents were scattered about and among them was the different carnival equipment. A large sign informed me that it was the Anderson Fair, Inc., and it was managed by Glendola Stewart and Fred Marx. The inside of a large tent was opened to me and I beheld Roland Cline in the top of the tent swinging from rope to rope in his role Tarzan is an Ape. In the crowd was a woman simply loaded down with class rings. I finally made her out to be Evelyn Rountree. The inside of a smaller tent came into view and under a sign labeled The Three Comrades stood George McDaniel, considerably less weighty for he looked to be a living skeleton. By George's side was a tall, tall man who was labeled Billy Daniel, the other comrade possessed splendid muscles that rippled when he moved. He was Ogden Sexton. In the same tent was Phylis Sutter who had grown fairly plump, weighed 508 pounds and was the world's fattest woman. The booth alongside Phylis held Kay Griffith who charged a dollar for every time she laughedp a sign said it was worth it. Across from Kay was Audrey Witherell who was very famous for the size of her mouth tit was a big onel. Then, I could see no more of the circus for the next scene the ball revealed Was that of a res- taurant, the Arrow Cafe. Here Virginia Ball and Ruby Callas waited on tables and flirted with boys. In the kitchen a very blonde woman was issuing orders to a man. She proved to be Tessie Kollert, the cook, and the man was Harry Bates who washed, wiped and broke dishes for his living. In came a very regal, raven-haired lady and a silence swept down on the house. She was Virginia Serpa, the proud proprietress. Next I saw a grocery store-out came Melvin Thompson: he bawled out a bunch of kids for swiping apples. The children looked very much like Maude Bosenko's and I was right, for along came Maude, and she yelled so loudly at Melvin that his clerk, Sidney Parisotto had to come to his rescue. Maude and her children left and in strode Burton Adams with his arms stacked high with Roman Meal Bread-Burton drove a red, green and black delivery wagon. Donald Wilsey came into the store and bought a bag of peanuts. His card said that he was president of the Anderson Chamber of Commerce. Hollan Mundel followed Don in. She wanted to buy some celery sprouts for the garden she was going to make. She was the wife of the valley's most prosperous farmer, Gilbert Hanel. In the meat department stood Sherman Luppens who served every customer with a smile. George Barr came in and explained to everybody in the store how much better the city is than the country. He has become a regular soap box orator. Again a change and a prosperous drug store came into view- Prosperous Betty Dusend- schon was painted in large pink letters on every window and door. Elbert Bennett played for an hour on the drugstore piano just one single piece, I Love Myself So. Behind the fountain Whitey Anderson jerked sodas and spun yams. Money Rolison, chemistry teacher at Ander- son Union high school, came in and demanded a cherry phosphate. On the cigar counter leaned Bill Crowe burning up his old age pension. According to the sign that was nailed over the mirror, Carol Ulberg was a second Rudolph Valentino and would soon appear as Baby Dumpling in Bumsteads at School. In marched Betty McPherson. I hardly recognized her as she had dark rimmed spectacles on, and I gathered she gave speeches on prohibition from the announcements that were made when she entered. She wore two wedding rings and three engagement rings. Again the scene shifts and I saw a person high on the deck of a steamer bound for Africa, the person is waving frantically, why that's me, Marguerite WoodsiHey, give that crystal back e-Well, I guess I'm off--to iaill
